She came to us as a rescued 4 month old weighing only 8 pounds. We began to foster her for adoption. Just as she was healthy enough for adoption, she developed mange and we had to continue to nurse her until that was cleared up. In no time, we were attached and just couldn't let her go. That is where the nickname Mangy Lu came from

She also goes by LuLu and now weighs 38 pounds and will be one year old in June. She is the most affectionate dog I have ever had.

I have been reading the board for a week now and really enjoy the pictures as well as the wealth of information available here!
